Travel Through Time History Is Alive In New York State

Visitors to one of New York State's many "Living History" museums can experience the lifestyle of a bygone era. Tour Old Bethpage Villageon Long Island, a pre-Civil War Farm Village, with costumed interpreters, an inn, store, church, blacksmith shop, hat shop, schoolhouse, craft demonstrations, animals and farm activities. Also on Long Island, visitors to the Museums at Stony Brook can attend a class at a 19th century one room schoolhouse or step into a blacksmith's shop, historic houses, a 1794 barn and an 1867 carriage house with a marvelous collection of vintage carriages. At Museum Village in Orange County, an entire 19th century village conducts its daily business as if time stood still. Stroll through the wooded grove and greet the town cobbler as you pass his shop. Visit the town printing office and watch a 19th century printing press at work. Stop in at the general store where you can buy hand-made candles or sticky salt water taffy, a favorite candy of 19th century children. Over 25 buildings are open to the public at Museum Village, and each one replicates life as it was in Orange County over 150 years ago.
